Edited on Mon Apr-20-09 12:35 PM by cascadiance
This was an old thread that might be relevant that I posted a few years ago that discussed some potentially suspicious actions where some articles on Sibel Edmonds might have been censored from google news searches (and alerts) at the time the AIPAC spy issue broke into the news. Coincidentally at about the same time, suddenly news about Sibel Edmonds "dropped off the map" then, and there were suspicious alert messages later.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=364&topic_id=39220

Here's another story from Brad's Blog noting some potential google censoring/manipulation of stories on her..

http://www.bradblog.com/?p=5231

which included in the coments area this link to an earlier story investigating Harman's involvement with AIPAC
http://www.americanfreepress.net/html/israeli_spy_ring_probe.html

And of course Sibel Edmonds later would come out in the London Times to allege that certain elements of the state department were leaking nuclear secrets through both Turkey and Israel to Pakistan's rogue nuclear program. This also linked Brewster Jennings and Valerie Plame in too...

Links to this story and others about her allegations on AIPAC...

http://cannonfire.blogspot.com/2007/03/scattered-thoughts-on-valerie-plame.html

And then we have the whole attorney scandal which Dianne Feinstein started raising story about Carol Lam's firing initially...

http://www.commondreams.org/headlines07/0319-01.htm

Then after Feinstein gets fired, right when Rahm Emmanuel is suggesting she get hired back, Qualcomm offers Carol Lam a sweet legal position to prevent this from happening. Brent Scowcroft serves on the board of Qualcomm, and was also an integral element of both AIPAC and the ATC.

http://emptywheel.firedoglake.com/2009/04/02/what-does-dusty-foggo-know-about-the-torture-tapes/

http://www.wowowow.com/post/sen-feinstein-hits-back-against-obamas-cia-pick-rep-jane-harman-passed-over-job-167674

Feinstein, as chairman of Senate Intelligence Committee announced hearings on NSA Wiretaps... One would think she'd know at that point that Harman was damaged goods in this investigation with the inside info she likely had...

http://www.rollcall.com/news/33993-1.html?CMP=OTC-RSS

And Feinstein herself seems to not be consistent on what she feels about torture either...

http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/12/05/feinstein-issues-statement-on-torture/

Some dots needed to be connected here with all of these links and your links too. Gotta run to work now, but maybe I'll study more and try to make sense of them...

11. Yeah, I posted one of the original links to that news here on DU...
And doesn't it seem like the name "Dickstein Shapiro" would be as much tied to Israel and AIPAC as it would be to the ATC and Turkey? When they uncover this mess (and hopefully they will at some point), I think we're going to be amazed how many times we were getting close to the truth, but didn't have ways to connect all of the dots.

6. AIPAC is the most feared lobby in DC.
That they represent the interests of Israel is widely known.

And no congress critter wants to piss them off and thereby face their considerable wrath.

15. Nominated.
Thank you for this OP. It is a great resource for information on what I believe is the most important scandal of the bush-CHENEY years.

I'm planning to post an essay on the scandal later today. I'm hoping that we can recapture some of the focus and intensity that went into making the infamous "Plame Threads" one of the highlights of DU's history.
